Spike TV is already promoting next year’s live-action Blade TV series by showing a commercial during the Video Game Awards tonight. There’s more discussion on the promo here.

Kirk “Sticky” Jones stars as Blade in the show. Based on the comic book and film franchise of the same name, Blade centers on a half-man, half-vampire warrior endeavoring to save the human race from a demonic underworld.

Feature screenwriter David Goyer (Batman Begins, the “Blade” trilogy) is executive producing and co-wrote the pilot’s script with the comic’s author Geoff Johns. New Line Television is producing.

The production is currently filming in Vancouver. Jill Wagner, Neil Jackson, Nelson Lee and Jessica Gower round out the cast. Peter O’Fallon directs.
